Aye, and there's the rub. The reason that N0AX and myself embarked on
our antenna comparison tests was that YOU CAN'T BELIEVE ANTENNA MANUFACTURER'S
PERFORMANCE CLAIMS.
Currently Force 12 and SteppIR are the only manufacturers that use our
protocol to produce useful comparable performance figures. If Optibeam
figures were produced similarly, then I'd be more inclined to believe them.
